RE:Naim addiction

Thanks a lot Satie,

Right thats it!, I've got to get a Technics. I don't want a 1200 as it DOES have a slightly dark sound I don't like, - other people have said this too. These suspended decks are EXACTLY what I am looking for, - I didn't reaslise they exisited until you mentioned them, - I thought all these Technics DD decks were non suspended but I'm glad to see I was wrong. So if the suspended decks have a ligther sound and resolving power than the SL1200 they will be perfect for me.

Its a deep shame the MK1 SL1600 SL1700 and SL1800 don't have adjustable VTA on the amp, - do you know at all is the arm can be removed on these MK1 decks and another arm like a Rega installed using the arm plate? or is that only possible on the MK2 decks?

The MK2 SL1600, 1700 and 1800 all have the same arm with highly useful adjustable VTA and from what it looks like they are really just the same deck with different modes of operaion (autio, semi and manual) - is that right? I see the 1800 was quite a bit cheaper, perhpas the parts in it are not as good as the other two?
Really gonna have to keep an eye out for one of these, - will put up some wanted adverts.

Its been a long time since I've used a MM cartridge. Only used MCs for the past 13 years. Did that KAB 1200 with the Lyra Lydian (nice cartridge) use a modified stock Technics arm or something else?

All the best,
Colin
